An imposing and sparkling star. The night of Friday November 15 to Saturday November 16 was that of the last Super Moon of the year, the Super Beaver Moon. During this astronomical phenomenon which coincides with the full moon, the latter is larger and brighter than usual, because it is the moment when the Earth is closest in the orbit of the Moon. Many Internet users captured the moment and shared it on social networks.
A phenomenon observable all over the world
This time, the size of the lunar body was larger than the average Super Moon. The peak of the phenomenon was forecast at 10:28 p.m. The term “Super Moon” was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle. The suffix “Beaver” refers to the name given to the November full moon by Native American tribes.
Many photos were relayed last night, coming from all corners of the planet. For example, an Internet user shared a photo of the Moon above Rodez, in Aveyron.
Abroad, too, impressive photographs have been taken which give the impression that the Moon was much closer than in reality. Thus, in New York, a photo seems to show a Moon placed on the Empire State Building. In Saudi Arabia, the star seems to blend into the decor of the Al Madinah mosque.
